oh there's actually a workaround (or at least a cheaper option that still lets u draw physically)! if you can get the art program 'paint tool sai 2' for free (it's easy to pirate but also its $40 one time payment so not bad) then u can import ur pic, turn up the contrast, then hit the "convert lumiance to opacity" button, it'll turn ur piece into the linework being alone on a layer with a transparent background (gets rid of anything not done in pen) so coloring becomes suuuuper easy. preserves the linework really nicely as well. (takes all of 30 seconds). im sure u can do the same in photoshop but thats $. might be worth looking to see if krita (free program) has a similar feature. there's definitely easier ways out there b4 u fork out $$ for a tablet, hope this helps!
